5/10

Programmes
4/10
!
Per 2019 comprehensive inspection: People supported to access community with outings to pubs/cafes, cinema, swimming, day centres, holidays, day trips; no dedicated coordinator or specialist programmes mentioned.
Points to consider
No dedicated activities coordinator or special programmes, so the job is mostly personal care with basic outings to cafes and day centres.
Per 2019 comprehensive inspection: people attended day centres, cinema, swimming, pubs/cafes, holidays; no coordinator or named programmes mentioned.
Staffing is adequate but some night shifts covered only by agency workers, and they are still recruiting more staff.
Per 2019 comprehensive inspection: 'staff were concerned that there were some night shifts when there were only agency staff on duty'; recruiting four full time equivalent day staff and two night staff.
